The answer is Potassium.
Potassium and calcium play a critical role in both the prevention and treatment of hypertension. An increased intake of minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium by dietary means has been shown to reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension. This is because potassium lessens the effects of sodium.
